Vasco Lourenço appalled by Sporting game, points to 2 big errors | OneFootball

Sporting could do no better than a 1-1 draw against Famalicão and ended up losing ground to Porto and Benfica in the title race. After the match, some Sporting fans assessed the performance and the result at the home ground of the Minho side.

Sousa Cintra, former Sporting president, lamented the two points dropped: "Sporting could not have dropped two points the way they did in Famalicão. They want to be champions, but they will only do so if they win games. There was a lack of intensity, we could have done more, but the championship is long. Let's believe," he told the newspaper 'Record'.

Vasco Lourenço, a captain of the April Revolution and a well-known Sporting fan, was more critical of the refereeing and the team's lack of finishing: "Everything went wrong! It was the usual we have been seeing. Poor refereeing, with a penalty that was not given and a questionable disallowed goal. Sporting dominated but failed to show the necessary cutting edge."

Meanwhile, Rita Garcia Pereira, a lawyer and also a Sporting fan, felt the team lacked the ability to turn control of the match into goals: "Sporting dominated but were not effective. Famalicão did what was expected: a compact block, closed spaces and looking to exploit transitions. We had an obligation to take more control of the game. Sporting forever!"

The Lions return to action next Saturday, September 19, against Arouca. The match, for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Vasco Seabra's side, will be played at 8:30 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
